“Beautiful view and very high standard for this B&B!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2010

Every single detail is perfect in this B&B. The view, the bedrooms, the breakfast (we could hardly finish it), the location, the garden, and of course our host!

We were welcomed with a cup of tea/coffee & a piece of cake after our long trip, which we took from the conservatory, looking out at the Bay.

I would highly recommend this place for couples looking for a romantic place to stay.
The food at the Bunratty Inn in the village was really nice.

“Stanley House is a gem.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2010

We just returned from our fourth trip to Ireland. This trip took us to Schull to and we chose to stay at Stanely House primarily based on the reviews on Trip Advisor. The reviews accurately tell the whole story. Nancy Brosnan runs what must be one of the best managed, warmest B&B’s in the country. Besides the typical high level of amenities such as wonderful beds, clean rooms and baths, Nancy adds genuine enthusiastic warmth and runs Stanley House to her high standards . She is attentive without being at all intrusive; her breakfasts are made individually including delicious ‘Irish Roast’ coffee! The house itself is lovely and modern and the sunroom and porch are comfortable places to gather or read overlooking the beautiful bay. Stanley House is a gem.

“B&B with the most genuine host - outstanding value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2010

The Stanley House it just a short walk outside the town of Schull . A quiet location on a country lane with a beautiful few over the sound. The bedrooms and bathrooms are sparkling clean with very good matresses and duvet covers. We spent a lot of time in the common living room and the adjoining sun room that overlooks the gardens and the water.
The best part is the genuine hospitality of the Nancy, the host. She cares for the guests as if they were family but without being intrusive. Breakfast has lots of selection from fresh fruit and cereal to egss with all the trimmings, traditional Irish or salmon and my personal favorite kippers. The fresh french press coffee is outstanding.
It was hard to leave after 4 nights and we couldn't find any better value in Ireland during our stay.

“A WARM WELCOME AWAITS YOU AT STANLEY HOUSE”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 March 2010

We were welcomed to Stanley House by Nancy Brosnan the owner with a welcoming pot of tea and home made cakes.

Stanley House is just like being at home, everything you would expect for yourself is provided by Mrs. Brosnan.

Stanley is spotless, and Nancy takes great pride in making sure that all the rooms with their ensuite bathrooms are immaculate.

Breakfast is four courses, all freshly cooked whilst you wait (not long). A really first class start to the day.

The location of Stanley House is on a hill overlooking Schull Harbour with deer in the paddock immediately in front of the house which adds to the ambience of the place itself.

You could not get better at a 5 star hotel.

“Heaven on Earth”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2009

Have just returned from a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday in Schull. Stanlet House is to be highly recommended for a relaxing stay. Hosts Nancy and Tom are most welcoming and friendly. Their home is extremely comfortable , bedrooms and bathrooms are spotless and the breakfast every morning is amazing. Views from the house are second to none. Roll on next year when we hope to return for another week of relaxation in a place that can only be described as heaven on earth
